She goes off.

Spoiler alert.

It was 2013, so I think we're okay.

A 10-year-old movie like The Matrix.

Spoiler alert.

It's a simulation.

But the AI decides to go off on its own.

What it really wants is a virtual space.

that it can interact with other AI.

It doesn't have the same necessarily priorities.

And I think that's where we make the mistake when we're worried about AI taking over is we're kind of assuming that AI will have the same kind of priorities.

Right, and so you mentioned The Arrival.

Ted Chiang wrote that.

So he wrote an interesting story, a short story called The Life Cycle of Software Objects.

And in that, so the metaverse is this idea.

I know you've talked to Zuckerberg, right?

So the metaverse is this science fiction idea where it's a virtual world and you have 3D avatars or characters wander around.

And so in the story, there's semi-intelligent AI pets

in the metaverse.

So people raise these pets and they use some technology, but it basically becomes like a real pet, right?
